The shooting occurred about two hours before another road rage incident on the interstate turned deadly. At about 8 p.m. in Las Vegas, a man in his early 20s was shot and killed near Russell Road and I-15. Las Vegas police said the man approached another driver with a gun at the end of a road rage despite. The other driver pulled out a gun and killed the man in his 20s, police said.

The title of the print article, "Las Vegas police investigating homicide" is too generic. Which homicide?

out of me. It is like a switch is flipped and they just don't care about anything or how many they kill in their zeal to show their "superiority." Unfortunately, police so often also take out the wrong person when persuing these idiots

What could go wrong.

Never respond to them. Ignore seems to work.

shoulder-in bumper to bumper traffic, flashing their lights as though there were somewhere beyond the far right lane for me to go! Then we hit a construction zone and they weave in and out the damned barricades. I used to frequently commute I-25 front range from Denver to Fort Collins and occasionally down to CO Springs. Even snow did not slow some of these idiots down.

cured the man of his road rage.

We have all experienced or witnessed highway terrorists. The worst place I ever drove on a daily basis was the Palmetto Expressway in Miami. There are some crazy SOBs who drive that road to work every day.
